I made it to about halfway through part 2 and I just can't keep going for now. This game's first part was a fun time, I enjoyed the shooting mechanics and bullet time. The enemy placement was fair and balanced. The level design was great, the opening Roscoe Street Station was fantastic. And then part 2 happened.

I have gone on record with several games saying that if it causes me to beat my head against the wall replaying the same hallway over and over I would hate it. That is the case for this game. Max can't shoot the side of a barn while enemies have laser-focused accuracy. The levels in part 2 become cramped hallways that give you no room to avoid shots. Grenades from Nowhere only add to my frustrations while giving me nowhere to dodge or evade them.

Its alright I guess. Weakest of the Freddi Fish entries, which themselves are the weakest franchise in Humongeous Entertainment. You can tell the series was still in its infancy in the Point and Click space, as the layout of things was way sporadic. Half of the locations and items aren't needed, yet still exist as things to get/do. At least with future games they learned how to code specific scenarios where unneeded things are omitted from the story entirely.

I always played the same demo on every other HE game I owned so half of the game I had committed to muscle memory at this point. Still a decent check off the list however.
